When should doctors use a synchronized cardioversion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Synchronized version: When normal ventricular activty is present as in atrial tachycardias/atrial fibrillation we use synchronized cardioversion, also with regular ventricular tachycardia. We primarily use cardioversion without synchronization when ventricular fibrillation is present.
